Top 5 Reasons Homeowners in Kittanning Choose Barndominiums

Looking for a home that combines rustic charm, modern comfort, and serious square footage? Barndominiums — often called "barndos" — are quickly becoming one of the most popular housing choices across Kittanning and Armstrong County. At Schaub and Sons LLC, we specialize in designing and building custom barndominiums that check every box for local homeowners.

Whether you're planning to build on rural land or need flexible live/work space, here are the top five reasons why barndominiums are the smart choice for families, retirees, and entrepreneurs in Western Pennsylvania.

1. Affordable Cost Per Square Foot

Barndominiums offer exceptional value — especially compared to traditional stick-built homes. Thanks to their steel-frame construction and simplified exterior shell, you can get more space for your budget without sacrificing durability or comfort.

Lower labor and framing costs
Faster construction timelines = fewer holding costs
Long-term savings from energy-efficient features

In Kittanning and surrounding areas, bardos are often the most cost-effective path to new homeownership.

2. Durability That Handles Western PA Weather

From snowy winters to hot, humid summers, your home has to endure it all. That’s where steel-frame barndominiums shine. They’re:

Fire-resistant and pest-proof
Designed to withstand wind, snow loads, and rain
Low-maintenance compared to wood-frame homes

Whether you're building in a rural area or just want peace of mind, barndominiums are built to last generations.

3. Open, Flexible Floor Plans

Barndominiums are a blank canvas — perfect for anyone who wants an open-concept home or a layout that adapts with time. Many of our clients choose features like:

Lofted bedrooms or vaulted living areas
Integrated workshops, garages, or storage bays
Combined living/dining/kitchen zones with tons of natural light

Need space for a growing family or a custom home office? A barndo gives you room to dream — and design.

4. Fast, Streamlined Construction Process

Because barndos use prefabricated steel components and a simplified build sequence, they often go up weeks faster than traditional homes.

At Schaub and Sons LLC, our streamlined process includes:

Site prep and engineered slab foundations
Steel framing and weather-sealed shell
Full interior finish work — plumbing, electrical, drywall, cabinetry, flooring

With proper planning, many barndominiums can be completed in 4–6 months from start to finish — even faster for smaller builds.

5. Aesthetic Versatility That Fits Any Style

Think barndominiums have to look like barns? Think again.

Our custom builds blend classic barn features (like metal siding or sliding doors) with any interior style you like — modern, rustic, farmhouse, industrial, or minimalist. You can choose:

Wood-beam ceilings or contemporary finishes
Wraparound porches or sleek black windows
Decorative dormers or open lofts

Whatever your vision, a barndominium can bring it to life — your way.
